This air rifle combo is a complete hunting kit. Delivers great power in .177 with lead pellets. Ideal for plinking, shooting spinners, popping paper targets and dispatching small rodents at close distances.

Things I liked:Air gun is not too heavy which is what I needed and it looks good. Spring time is slow to arrive here and only had one time I could test fire the air gun. Which made a mess of a tin can. Now starting to warm up hope to get outside and shoot it more.Things I would have changed:Make a see through scope mount giving the shooter an option of which sight to use for whatever circumstance may arise.What others should know:Iron sights are dead on. Scoped rifle was not too accurate. Air gun is tight and not loosen up yet. After I shoot more with the air rifle I am sure the scoped rifle will be much more accurate. I really like the air gun.

Things I liked:The .22 cal 1000S was my first introduction to the world of high powered air rifles. I purchased the rifle to inexpensively find out if hunting rabbits was a hobby I would like to further pursue. Hatsan, as a brand came highly recommended and for the price, the 1000S is a great value. Up to this point I could not be happier with every aspect of the rifle and have been successfully slaying rabbits since I got the rifle. I have yet to find a pellet inside a rabbit as they enter and exit completely. I rarely take shots over about 30 yards with Destroyers and this rifle gets the job done!Things I would have changed:The rifle does have a very springy sound when fired and the trigger has plenty of creep but is at least adjustable. I never used the scope that came with the rifle but I should have bought a scope more powerful than 4 power magnification. I will buy at least a 12 power scope with an illuminated reticle. For the $95 price tag, I would change nothing about this rifle and will keep it for ease of use despite my intentions of purchasing a Benjamin Marauder pistol. Great doomsday rifle that puts food on the table.What others should know:This is a great entry level rifle that comes from a reputable manufacturer. Don't be cheap with the optic you use, it makes the biggest difference. Don't be surprised by the presence of recoil from this rifle and a very "springy" sound when fired. I believe this rifle shoots 14.3 grain hollow points at around 650 FPS. This is plenty for small game at close ranges. After using this rifle for a season, I am going to upgrade to a .22 cal Benjamin Marauder pistol and tune it to shoot 14.3's at 720 FPS.
